Complete ASCII list of symbols
Complete ASCII list of symbols available using the alt + Number key pad on a computer.
All of these symbols can be inserted in any text sentence or by themselves in text space by holding down the ( alt ) key – the one beside the space bar on a computer keyboard – and typing the number on the number pad on the right side of a computer keyboard. It does not work with the numbers across the top of the keyboard.
Some of these will be useful to you and some are not. Why use a alt and number combination for the alphabet.
Note: there are many more that can be found using four digit numbers, however many of them are repeats of those listed here.
Note 2: If you really want to create passwords that are nearly impossible to break then use some of these symbols along with your normal passwords.
Note 3: For those of you who do not have a number pad on your keyboard you can access many symbols by going to ( Start ) – where you go to find your list of programs on your computer. In the search box that shows up when you click (Start) – type character map . A window will open with all types of symbols and you can click on any one then click copy, then paste it to the location you wish to use.
Note 4: For some operating systems you can find the Character map by going to ( Start ) then to (Programs) then to (Accessories). It will be listed as one of the program options under windows accessories and can be accessed the same way as described in Note 3
Note 5: If you do not have a number keyboard on your computer you can use the list below and copy and paste any symbol from this list. Just highlight the symbol you wish to use and then copy it. You might want to create your own library of symbols in a program like Notepad on your computer then save it to a file you can keep on your bottom tool bar for easy access. I would not suggest using MS Word since that program inserts hidden characters that RB can not read so your copy and paste will often not work if done from Word/
Have Fun!!!!!!!!!

Sorry for the long list but I just don’t have the time or energy to make this a triple column entry. ☺
Yool
Wow…..that is great stuf dear bro. :))
I only have numbers on the top so i cant use it :((
barnsis replied
Sorry sis, there is another way to do it with a regular keyboard but it is very complicated, Go buy a new keyboard? ☺
barnsis replied
Ok Sis, I have added a section to the journal – Note 3: to tell you how to get symbols on your keyboard with no number pad. Have fun.
Julie Langford
Same here, laptop, so no number pad. Can get some chars to come up by holdlingctrl and alt together with the numbers, but not many. But for those who cant use these because they dont have a number pad, there is always character map. to get to character map, just type charmap into the start menu or search the PC for it. Sometimes it is in the Accessories folder under the start menu too.
barnsis replied
Thanks Julie, I didn’t think of that, I will add this information to the journal.
T. Wall ~Throu...
Wow! Great info! Thanks so much!!
barnsis replied

Rita Agostinelli
It is fast and easy & fun!! Now did you just send me a code? Lol!! :)
barnsis replied
No I am not smart enough for code, just playing with the examples, If you follow Note 3: and open the character map window you can keep it minimized at the bottom of your page to get other characters quickly and easily.
Rita Agostinelli
I see…thanks! ☺
barnsis replied

I am on a friends laptop which does not have a number pad, so I just went to the list above and copied this ♫ then pasted it here ♫ Not as quick and easy but you can get the symbols that are not available easily elsewhere
Ushna Sardar

barnsis replied
Sending you a bubble mail!
